As of mid-December, there was a separate AUP that I read and quoted to
someone in a private email (and so I can refer to it). It had terms
that prohibited the "loan" of the service amongst a bevy of other
constraints which were less germain to PTP-like use (e.g. resale,
etc). When I tried to load the page again a few days ago it was
empty. The TOS clearly refer to an AUP, but does not provide a link,
so the AUP *could* say anything.
There is also an odd distinction between Home and Mobile accounts. I
know the devices are different, but is the service different as well?
That is, can you use a Home-type device (the ethernet WiMax "modem")
in multiple locations? Or does it get pinned to the nearest tower?
Also, can you use third-party WiMax devices (such as Intel's) to
access Clear.com's service? Intel has linux drivers at least underway
for its WiMax devices. As far as I know, the mobile motorola USB
radio that Clear.com is selling/leasing do not.
Home use is not capped ("Unlimited") but the lower two tiers of Mobile
are capped (something like, 200MB and 2GB/month). This according to
the brochure I saw today.
